Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, and then had severe coughing. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give them fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
